Shakira shows off her baby bump

Singer Shakira, who is expecting her first child with footballer boyfriend Gerard Pique, flaunts her baby bump in a set of intimate pictures taken by Spanish music video director Jaume de Laiguana.

Singer Shakira, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Gerard Pique, has launched an online baby shower and is asking fans to honour their child by supporting UNICEF in giving underprivileged babies around the globe a healthy start in life.

Colombian pop star and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) ambassador, Shakira, walks with her boyfriend, Barcelona soccer player Gerard Pique, after her joint news conference with Israel's president Shimon Peres (not seen) at the 3rd annual Israeli Presidential Conference in Jerusalem June 21, 2011.

She only confirmed their relationship last year by posting a picture of them together on Twitter and Facebook with a caption reading, "I present to you my sunshine".

Shakira, 35, has been dating Pique for around two years and praised him saying, "This man is the best thing that could have happened in my life. And now the baby."

"Dear Friends, Having our first baby is such an incredibly happy time for us. That's why we want to invite you to our baby shower with a twist. Rather than asking you to give gifts to our new baby, we're asking you to honour him by supporting UNICEF in giving underprivileged babies around the globe a healthy start in life. It would really mean a lot to us," the couple said in a joint statement on Twitter.

The virtual baby shower, launched on Jan 15, invites fans into Shakira and Gerard's virtual living room. "You can choose an Inspired Gift from our registry - to give the gift of immunizations so more babies grow up healthy and disease free, rehydration salts to save children's lives and therapeutic food so babies will get enough to eat," the couple wrote.

The singer is UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and requesting fans to buy gifts for some of the world's poorest babies. Contactmusic.com reports that the couple posted the invitation on Twitter Wednesday.
